Winston is obviously the real deal. Very impressive. I would give Miller's running ability in a heartbeat to have that kid's pocket passing skills.

Coming from a Wolverine, we're the football equivalent of a formerly abused wife of a meth addict who just remarried the safe nice guy. We're just glad we have someone who's aware that it's a rivalry and that tackling on defense is integral. Baby steps.

Meyer tried to get in on him after he was hired in 2012 and the kid flirted with visiting, but at the end of the day a few month long relationship with Meyer wasn't going to overtake the baseball side of things.

I mean, Pitt was embarrassing, but that kid was something else. Forgot the numbers, just look at the poise and the control he had over that offense from play one. He audibilizes, he calls out coverages and blitzes like he's 30, he makes the right read and throw into that coverage and he ain't afraid to accept blame or deal with guys who screw up.

He kept a run that should have been optioned to Wilder for a short gain and immediately popped up and said he screwed it up.

Winston may be the reason that Mack Brown gets run out of Texas if they struggle again (particularly at QB) this year.

Kid wanted to go there above any school but Texas didn't offer. Bama was hard on Jameis but he liked FSU and Fisher's history with QBs better.

That said, I want to be quick to point out, this was just one game against a defense that was utterly pathetic.

Playing here is the closest thing to heaven. Really, I mean it's amazing to be in a place where the fans truly cherish their football team and stick behind them win or lose. We players love them, too. I feel a sense of accomplishment playing here, we are a special breed of football players with a great opportunity." ~ tOSU LB Brian Rolle

Did anyone hear Mark May rail against the loss of the Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry and sit there and say he grew up watching it?

May was born in 1959. Michigan-Notre Dame didn't play between 1943 and 1978.

Mark May is a useless, trolling piece of shit who's also a fucking liar.

Aside from that I don't mind him in the least.

Did you see Skip Bayless 1-up Mark May's idiocy with his "take" this morning about watching it growing up? And Bubba Smith playing in the "rivalry" (mind you, Bubba Smith went to MSU).

ESPN yet again looks bad on this one but will no doubt beat it into the ground thru the rest of the week and into Saturday. There's a lot to all this whole argument when it comes to ND-Michigan, ND's view on the Big Ten, recruiting areas, etc. To distill it simply to this "rivalry" debate is a nuisance.

ESPN's sports journalists are decent, their talking heads are so biased and poorly informed that it is a joke. For the life of me, I cannot understand how Cornheiser, May, Wilbon and Bayless still have jobs there.

Those guys are nothing more than paid hacks doing what they are told. ESPN = WWF(E) mindless entertainment for the masses. At least the wrestling heals have some form of talent. The ESPNBOTS do the biding of their masters. They sold their souls long ago. Its not about being credible or informed they just need to say something moronic so the mindless back and forth can go on.
